There are two externals that you could use: [seq] from the Cyclone
library is a clone of Max's [seq]. I don't think it's finished, but it
may already do what you want. Then there's [midifile] by Martin Peach,
which does about the same. I believe both are part of Pd-extended, if
you cannot compile them.

Another way would be to use an different midi recorder software. Maybe
even Finale can do it, otherwise there should be some free sequencers
for your platform somewhere. The only thing needed would be a virtual
midi connection from Pd to that sequencer. I only know how this is
done on Linux, where using Pd's ALSA sequencer interface is the
easiest way. Just connect some sequencer or recorder like MusE,
rosegarden or some alsa-tool like "arecordmidi" to Pd with qjackctl
and start recording. On OS-X or Windows similar things should be
possible as well, if not, boot http://puredyne.goto10.org ;)

Ciao
